Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a powerful form of psychotherapy that can be self-practiced and has proven through extensive psychological research to be incredibly affective for anxiety reduction. This hands-on, practical approach can completely change negative thought patterns and unwanted behavior. This video is a step by step guide to CBT performed as self-therapy which can be used to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress and improve mental health as a whole. According to the American Psychological Association, cognitive behavioral therapy "has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders and severe mental illness. Numerous research studies suggest that CBT leads to significant improvement in functioning and quality of life. In many studies, CBT has been demonstrated to be as effective as, or more effective than, other forms of psychological therapy or psychiatric medications."
